Another search party has been organised to help find missing Basildon man Jack Morrad.

The 28-year-old has now been missing for six days and was last seen leaving Colours nightclub in the Southernhay area in the early hours of Sunday, December 23.

He had been out with his brother but left the club alone, and has not been seen since.

His family and friends are urgently appealing to find his whereabouts and are looking for information, via social media and flyers, to help the search for Jack.

A number of police units have been dispatched to Gloucester Park, Basildon to continue the search for missing 28-year-old Jack Morrad

Several search parties have been held around the local area in a bid to find the missing 28-year-old with no new information yet uncovered.

Friends have said: "This is a strange occurrence. He has never run off, it's not him."

The search continued on Boxing Day and then yesterday (December 28), with groups of people give their time to search bushes, industrial parks and housing estates in and around the Gloucester Park area.

And the search will continue tomorrow, (December 30), meeting at the Festival Leisure Centre car park.

The Facebook event for the search party reads: "After further communication with police and high demand for another search, myself and the police have agreed to arrange another search party.

Who is Jack Morrad?

Jack, a sales manager for a small business, lives west of Basildon Town Centre and is an avid West Ham fan. His friends have described him as 'happy', 'chatty' and 'outgoing' with a bright personality.

"If he did go into the club, he would have gone to the smoking area," friends said.

"Anyone within ten metres would know he was there. He was a strong bloke and everyone would be talking to him and listening to him tell jokes."

Friends have described him as "extremely amiable, very friendly and approachable and he has a friendly face, and is a nice guy".

His friends also say he is a West Ham away and home season ticket holder.

Jack was wearing a distinct Christmas jumper at the time of his disappearance, which was blue with reindeer on the front.

The legs were 3D and dangled from the jumper, making it memorable, it is claimed.

"Meeting point will be at Festival Leisure car park at 10.30am on Sunday (December 30).
